Sunday 1 August 1280, Afternoon (Moan, Moan, Moan)

"I fear there are more undead down here," Oloc says to his companions. "No doubt the red substance is connected in some way."

The Mage considers the different paths. "Perhaps we take the first path here to the east - the air seems less....foul."

Duran nods in agreement to Oloc as he readjusts his pack.

"I agree Oloc," says Gaven. "Let's move."

The company moves north to the first of the two side passages heading eastward. Turning to look down that corridor, you see that the hallway east extends about 80 feet before ending at a closed door. About 50-60 feet down the hall is another door in the south wall, while a tunnel simultaneously branches north at roughly the same distance.

Near the door on the south wall you see a few cracks and chips in the ceiling, and a few stone fragments scattered about the floor beneath them.

The air in the passage to the north is cold and foul, much as you perceived previously in that direction.

From directly ahead, behind the door at the east end of the corridor, you hear what sound like muffled moans of pain.

Duran also inspects the cracks and the nearby door. "Should we check behind this door first to make sure nothing comes out behind us," asks Duran. "Then perhaps we can carefully check out the moaning."

Oloc avoids getting underneath the crumbling ceiling. at Duran's query the mage responds, "I would be careful trying to open the door. That ceiling looks quite unstable. If you mean to open it, perhaps Gaven should probe a bit more to release any loose bits of rock."
